  • I HAVE BEEN TAGGED

    First of all, let me tell you.  Last summer I went to the doctor, and he found a real bad ulcer in my stomach. He gave me medicine and told me to come back in September.  I was going to so many doctors and therapist's that I couldn't think of going to another Doctor.  It has been 4 months since Sept and I thought I'd better go, because the doctor took a biopsy of it in June to make sure it wasn't cancer.  It came back benign.  For which I was thankful.  This morning he was going to take another biopsy of the ulcer and low and behold it when he looked it wasn't there.  For which I am very thankful.  God is so good sometimes I can't hardly take it all in.

    OK, now I've been tagged That's right I've been tagged.....What should I do about it..... You see I've got this mischievous granddaughter, that although she works hard all day she can still find time to post on her blog.  And this is what I get for reading her blog.  I found out I was tagged.  O, well you know how it is with a granddaughter you can't say "no" so I might as well get started.  The direction were, as I remember them to post seven things about yourself and then you supposed to post 7 pictures of yourself.  Below are listed 7 things about myself.

    1. I've been in all 50 states, except 3 which are Florida, South Carolina, and Rhode Island.

    2.  I was married when I was 16.  It will 50 years in Oct.

    3. I had 3 children by the time I was 19 1/2.

    4. I have 52 grandchildren.

    5. I used to love to have company.  My slogan is, "All are welcome. so long as the last one in can close the door behind him"

    6. I love time alone with God and I love to listen to the Bible on a CD.

    7.  I like Banana's, Banana Bread, Banana Cream Pie. Banana Cookies, Banana Cake, or just plain Banana's

    Now since I'm sure she's waiting to see what kind of pictures I put on here of myself.  I'd better get at it.....................  First off let me tell you, I don't like pictures of myself...(I maybe should make that number Eight, anyway, I'm a photographer, therefore I stay behind the camera instead of in front.

    Well Vonda, this is the first picture I can find of myself.

    1. image-1.jpg I'm 6 months old.

    This being the second picture.

    2.image-3.jpg I am 4 and my brother is 6 months.

    3.image-2.jpg My Mom wanted to take my picture and I didn't want it taken.  In order to try to get me to cooperate she gave me a flower for my dolly to snell.  I still didn't want my picture taken so I just crambed the flower in the dolly's nose and stomped my feet.  My mom, being the good photographer that she was, caught the action.  I was 3.

    4. image-7.jpg This is my brother and I again. this time we are 3 and 6.

    5. image.jpg Believe it or not I graduated from the 8th grade.  Remember when they used to make wood fiber sheets?  I made my corsauge out of wood fiber.  With all the crafts, I would think one could find it today.

    6. image-2 And then I was married.

    7.image-5.jpg And before I knew it I had nine children.  That's me peeking out the window.   And here folk's is the truth. It is a bonus picture.

    MY HOW TIME FLIES !!

    My granddaughter Starlita and I.

  • Praise the Lord for the good health report. It is good to hear when one's prayers have been answered.

    My computer is being lazy today and is not giving me your pictures. However, I was amazed at 52 grandchildren. I can't even get my married daughter to consider giving me one. It is a good thing I have my two little boys.

    A big AMEN to #6. One of my favorite past times too!

    Blessings Gramma S!

  • That pic of you stomping your foot is all my all time favorite!

    Thats amazing that the ulcer wasnt there anymore! What a relief.

  • Praise the Lord -- He is still in the healing "business"!! He is not dead, NO, He is alive.  So glad to hear the wonderful report of no tumor.  And thanks for sharing the photos.  Very good!

  • Thanks so much! I like looking at old pics, thats why I tagged you, I figured you'd do that! Awesome.  I asked Vale if that pic of your 8th grade graduation looked like me and he said it did, except for the hair and glasses! lol So maybe I do........ Anyway this dear granddaughter that works so hard needs to go to bed because she has to wake up at 6:30 tommorrow. I think I'm going bananas..... maybe thats why I'm leaving such a long comment.

  • I loved your post today.  Thanks for the little glimpses into your nature ... and the pictures.  I liked number 3.  The expression on your face ... priceless, and I also liked the one of you with your granddaughter.

  • Thanks for sharing your photos... its nice to put a face to a name :)

  • I've really enjoyed your post. You were such a pretty baby, and adorable girl and beautiful woman. I can't imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by such a large loving family.  It must be a lot of fun.  Sometimes Xanga makes me enter a password and I have to get my little black book & try to look it up. Tonight it let me right in to your blog.  I am under the weather this week with a virus. I'm hoping tomorrow it will start to back off some. I've no voice yet....and its hard to whisper everything, then that starts the coughing. I've a wonderful hubby...the coffee table is so loaded with various brands of cough drops and hard candy...its a mess! Take care...

  • Hey Gramma S! :) I agree, you were a pretty baby and child... and you are a lovely woman today. It's so nice to see what you look like.

    Thank you for your comment on my blog. I meant to take you up on your invitation right away, but I wasn't well yesterday. So today I FINALLY got around to doing it!

  • I saw Finley yesterday peering over his papa's head and he reminded me of the picture of you with the doll. Now, he was NOT being bad but something about his face struck me that it looked like you. huhm

  • Thank you for your comment on my Blog of 7. You are too kind, Gramma S.

  • Wonderul post - great pictures!!  It's always cool to learn interesting things about each other.  52 grandkids.  Wow!

    Your site is very pretty, too.

    Hugs.

  • Haha. Hopefully you kept that rebellious little mind of your own all these years!

    Are you Amish?

    Beautiful pics. I love the rose. But it makes me want cake.

    Thanks for coming by :)

  • RYC:   I love lighthouses too & would love to see all your pictures.  I have a small collection, but it is quietly growing.  I collected turtles for many years & probably have close to 300 of them, but I just started lighthouses in the past few years, so don't have nearly as many.  The only lighthouse I have my own pics of is  Marblehead up on lake Erie & cvs kinda washed out the color on them when I got them developed.  Bummer.   We don't really have that many large bodies of water here in the middle of Ohio - LOL!  I would love to tour the coast someday & get lots of lighthouse pics - maybe when I retire.  :)

    Anyway........have a good day.  Hugs.

  • That last picture is darling!!!
